Cell growth and in vitro toxin A and B production were compared between combined animal and human isolates of toxinotype V to human epidemic strain isolates (i.e., BI/NAP1/027; toxinotype III), and recent nonepidemic human strains (toxinotype 0) (1 ).
For the optimal selection, we searched the entire parameter space Ω to determine pairs of (q s, q v ) that minimized the epidemic final size (for the current season n), given by J min n = min q s, q v ∈ Ω ∫ nT n + 1 T γI η dη.
This Agent paper (II of V on monitoring the tobacco use epidemic) summarizes the findings and recommendations of the Agent (product) Working Group of the November , 2002 National Tobacco Monitoring, Research and Evaluation Workshop.
After implementation of our actions, 40 50 (81%) mothers kept breastfeeding as before (vs. 49% in the previous epidemic season, p < 0.05), 4 mothers (8%) stopped, 4 (8%) switched to partial breastfeeding and 2 (4%) reduced without stopping.
More than half (58.7%) of respondents in Muleba district reported that their households owned at least one ITN with significantly higher ITN coverage in the non-epidemic area compared to epidemic area (66.4% vs 55.3%, p = 0.019) (Table 6).
Armstrong's finding and our monthly analysis suggest that the cold side of the V-shape is mainly formed by influenza epidemic or other seasonal factors.
In the following RSV epidemic season, 80% of the FI-RSV vaccinated children had a natural RSV infection and were hospitalized; two of them died [ 70– 72].
(I ) V-073-resistant variant VP3-A24V and (J ) VP1-I94F in the epidemic Hispaniola strain of poliovirus were identified and reconstructed.
Non-GII.4 strains were observed more frequently after the epidemic (November 2012 July 2013) than during the epidemic (August October 2012) (23.5% vs 1.1%; p<0.0001).
Nasser et al. [ 29] delineated the nature and timing of molecular events that contributed to other global human epidemic caused by an epidemic group with low synonymous sequence diversity, like pandemic V parahaemolyticus.
